Gabe,
Been to Rome several times.
My advice: Take a bus or taxi! Although the city traffic is not Oriental-level nutzo, it is up there.
A story: I had a day off, and decided to check out the Vatican. I'm walking up the street along the Vatican City wall. The one-way (towards me) street curves around to the right. No traffic. Suddenly, I hear a growing buzzy wail coming from up the street.
Around the corner comes a phalanx of a couple dozen scooters; the riders range from suits, to kids with their butts off the inside of the seat, to terrified-looking young ladies.
It looked like the first turn in a Supermoto event!
Enjoy Roma! It is a great city!
